Configuring Data Collection

You can configure the types of data collected by the Infrastructure Server with the Infrastructure Server profile. By suppressing data collection, you may increase the efficiency of the server. When the data is not collected by the Infrastructure Server, no statistics are sent to the Stats Server either.

The options available for Infrastructure Server data collection include:

Suppress All Infra Statistics Data Collection	When this option is enabled, no infrastructure statistics are collected by the Infrastructure Server. This option overrides all the other data collection options.
Suppress Performance Statistics Data Collection	When this option is enabled, no statistics such as utilization, capacity, bytes received/sent, or packets received/sent are collected by the server.
Suppress Current Statistics Data Collection	When this option is enabled, no statistics representing the current state of infrastructure devices are collected by the server. If you plan on generating any infrastructure device reports, current statistics should not be suppressed.
Suppress Running Statistics Data Collection	When this option is enabled, no statistics regarding device status changes are collected by the server.
Suppress Associated MD Data Collection	When this option is enabled, no statistics regarding associated mobile devices (such as RSSI measurements) are collected by the server.
Limit Running Statistics Data Quantity	When this option is enabled, certain running statistics (such as device state changes) are not collected by the server.

To configure data collection for an Infrastructure Server profile:

From the Profiles tab, select the profile from the Profile List.

Click Edit.

In the Infrastructure Server Profile tab, enable the desired options in the Data Collection region.

Note: If you enable Suppress All Infra Statistics Data Collection, all data collection for infrastructure devices will be suppressed.

Save your changes.
